Lobster Fra Diavolo

General Description:

A classic Italian-American seafood dish featuring lobster cooked in a spicy tomato sauce.

The name "Fra Diavolo" translates to "Brother Devil" and refers to the fiery nature of the sauce.

Ingredients:

Lobster (typically live or fresh)

Olive oil

Garlic

Onion

Crushed tomatoes

Red pepper flakes

White wine (optional)

Fresh basil

Salt and pepper

Preparation:

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven.

2. Sauté garlic and onion until softened.

3. Add crushed tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and white wine (if using).

4. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Add lobster to the sauce and cook until the lobster is bright red and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).

7. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Common Sense Considerations:

Freshness
Use the freshest lobster possible for the best flavor and texture.

Cooking time
Lobster cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it.

Sauce consistency
The sauce should be thick enough to coat the lobster but not too thick that it becomes pasty.

Spice level
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your desired spice level.

Serving
Lobster Fra Diavolo is typically served over pasta or with crusty bread for dipping.

Storage
Leftover Lobster Fra Diavolo can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Additional Tips:

For a richer flavor, use a combination of crushed tomatoes and tomato paste.

Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for acidity and depth of flavor.

If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil instead.

Serve Lobster Fra Diavolo with a side of lemon wedges for squeezing over the dish.
